Suminagashi Jewelry Making Workshop w/ Kat Sjogren

Suminagashi, Japanese for "floating ink," is a marbling method some nine centuries old: ink is floated on still water, teased into rings and ripples, then lifted off onto paper. As Kat Sjogren has run this jewelry workshop at Sarasota County libraries, she opens by demonstrating the printing process, after which participants work with marbled prints made in advance, setting them into bezel trays under glass cabochons to make necklaces, zipper pulls and bookmarks, and they go home with written instructions for marbling on their own. This session brings it to North Lime Avenue. Sjogren also teaches no-rules art journaling in the Sarasota Performing Arts Foundation's ArtSELF wellness series.
